I love this quilt pattern and the colors you have used are delightful. The blocks look like jewels. I wonder if you chose black and the color you want to really pop from the quilt for a border, something simple so as not to detract from the quilt itself.

Your quilt top is so pretty. The colors just sparkle!

This is what I was thinking also.

I like the quilt just the way it is.

My choice would be a black border, whatever size you decide, and a scrappy binding. I think you need the black border to set off the bright colors.

Absolutely beautiful quilt, like GrandmK it inspires me to make one. I think the black or gray border would be great or leave as is. Just BEAUTIFUL!!!

It's beautiful. I'd use black border but some other colors in there too.

Some have suggested using a small piano key type border (1-2") plus then black. That's what I'd do.

But whatever you do would be nice. Just use black...not gray or something subtle. You've not been subtle with the colors up til now, so why would you start now at the border stage?

Anyway, did you sew down the black strips first down the middle of the block and then added the other strips?

I think it is beautiful too, and I'm saving your picture in my folder of quilts...:)

I would add a black border and then maybe bind in scraps from the colors used for a narrow outer color pop.

I didn't sew the black strips down first, I just pinned them and started sewing the color strips.

I second this. A deep black allows the colors to shine! :-)
